About
Spencer, a 7yo bay gelding, is trained by Peter and Shaun Mckay in Matamata. He is out of the mare Darcistar and sired by the stallion Derryn. A stakes winner with total earnings of $317,850, he is considered to possess above‑average ability. On 12 Oct 2024 at Te Rapa, Triston Moodley rode him to victory in the $120,000 Open Handicap, edging out Geriatrix. Punters have found him lucrative; a career‑long backing would have generated a 51% return on investment.
